Today is Dolly the sheep's birthday, she would have been 20 years old today
The cell used as the donor for the cloning of Dolly was taken from a mammary gland. On Dolly's name, the lead scientist stated "Dolly is derived from a mammary gland cell and we couldn't think of a more impressive pair of glands than Dolly Parton's". Yes, things were much different in that century.
Dolly had three mothers - one provided the egg, another the DNA and a third carried the cloned embryo to term
Dolly only lived to 6 and a half years old. A Finn Dorset such as Dolly has a life expectancy of around 11 to 12 years. While she died of a form of cancer common to the breed, there is some speculation that she was born with a genetic age of 6 years old, which was the age of the sheep that donated the genes that made Dolly.
